PE Operations Internship
About The Position
This is a hands-on operational role, not a research or slide-deck internship designed for students currently pursuing a Masters of Business Administration. The PE Operations Intern will spend the summer months embedded in Digi's field operations in Dallas, conducting site walks and developing project quotes alongside experienced technicians and sales staff. The intern will also engage directly with Cobalt's Office of the President on operational insights, reporting, and strategic questions that surface through the work. For an MBA student interested in private equity operations, this role offers rare ground-level visibility into how a PE-backed services business actually runs: how deals get priced, how capacity constraints surface, how field teams make tradeoffs, and how operational decisions compound over time. This is an in-person role with required on-site responsibilities in the Dallas, TX area.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree required, Masters of Business Administrations in progress
- Valid driver's license and ability to meet qualified driver requirements
- Able to pass required background checks for on-site authorization by clients
- Interest in private equity, operations, or growth-stage businesses
- Comfort working in an unstructured, fast-moving environment with limited hand-holding
- Willingness to spend meaningful time in the field, not just at a desk
- Strong analytical instincts and intellectual curiosity
- Experience and familiarity with AI tools or a strong willingness to learn
- Able to stand and walk for at least one mile in outdoor weather conditions for site-walks and quotes
- Able to navigate computers, tablets and other technologies
- Able to commute and travel in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area
Nice To Haves
